THIS MONTH'S COVER: The' "old grad" on Coronet's November cover is artist Howard Forsberg's composite version of all the "old grads" who for a short time -- at their annual Homecoming -- recapture the thrills and excitement of under- graduate days. At the big football game, a red-letter event on any Homecoming program, they cheer as lustily as any collegian, though, like the foresighted gentleman on the cover, they may come prepared for any vagaries of the weather. For a man who skipped college to go directly from high school to art school, Forsberg has succeeded remarkably in capturing the spirit of the big Homecoming game.
